What is "woodturning"?
Woodturning is a technique where a piece of wood is placed on a machine called a lathe, which spins it around quickly. As the wood spins, tools are used to carve and shape it into smooth, round objects. This method is commonly used to make items like bowls, vases, and decorative spindles. The spinning motion helps achieve precise and symmetrical shapes, making it possible to create both functional items and artistic pieces.
